Dr. Emil Kendziorra, CEO of Tomorrow.bio, delves into the nuances of cryopreservation, debunking the myth that it's just 'freezing.' Learn about 'vitrification,' a process where the body transitions into a glass-like amorphous state, avoiding ice crystal formation and preserving tissue quality for potential future revival. Discover the differences between the current achievable preservation in cells and small organs vs. whole human bodies, and understand the ethical and legal considerations surrounding this practice. Expect to learn about cryoprotective agents, the process of blood and water replacement, and the hope for future advancements in reversing vitrification.
